Paying For College?

[The Aire]

Is this a realistic goal? Paying for a typical college tuition by being in the Still Photography business?

Economics have changed a lot over the decades, but has it changed this much?

I don't think I could work my way through school this way. Classes would be taking place during the best hours that clients will want to book you.

I think it depends on what you're shooting. Wedding photography can certainly pay for school, and I bet you could do it while going to classes, since many weddings take place in the evening. It's time-consuming, though, so you'd need to be really motivated to keep up with both.

If it's freelance work, then it wouldn't be reliable for paying tuition fees. Getting clients could also be challenging at times, depending on the season. Relying on that might pose as troublesome in the future.

I think that it could be possible, but it would depend on how much your tuition is, and what other expenses you have to worry about while you are attending school.
